How to Read The Screen’s
Take 3 chairs and put them parallel through the lane so one is in the middle of the lane, one is on the right side of the court, and one is on the left side of the court- the chairs should be no more than 5-7 feet from the rim
This drill is a time drill- two minutes on the clock
Passer is at the top of the key between half court and the 3-point line
Rules are that you can not come off the screen the same way twice in a row- there are three ways to come off the screen- Straight, Curl, and Flair- and you must call out how you are coming off the screen
After you shoot you return back to the baseline and go off another screen
